Easy Air Fryer Apple Fritters
Description
Easy air fryer apple fritters made with flaky canned biscuits and sweet apple pie filling, brushed in butter and rolled in cinnamon sugar. This 20-minute shortcut tastes like a bakery apple fritter with no yeast and no deep frying — the perfect quick breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
- 8 count Pillsbury Buttermilk Biscuits, 1 package
- 1/2 cup apple pie filling, chopped small
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Flatten each biscuit into a roughly 3 x 3-inch square.
- Chop the apple pie filling into small pieces and add to a small bowl. Melt the butter. In a separate bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon.
- Lay a piece of dough flat, add about 1 tablespoon of filling to the center, and sprinkle on a little cinnamon sugar.
- Roll the dough over the filling and pinch the ends to seal completely so it doesn't leak.
- Roll each fritter in melted butter, then in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Place in a greased air fryer basket or on a greased tray, leaving space between each. Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for 7 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden.
- Serve warm.
Equipment
- Parchment Paper, or Cooking Spray
Notes
- Seal the seams firmly and chop the filling small to prevent leaking.
- Don't overcrowd the basket — cook in batches if needed.
- For extra crunch, roll in butter and cinnamon sugar a second time while hot.
- Works with crescent dough, cinnamon rolls, or frozen biscuits (adjust time).
- Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 1–2 minutes; freeze cooked fritters up to 2 months.
